Welcome to Our Blog!

Hello and welcome to our blog! As all of you know, this year, I will be challenging myself to incorporate new routines into our learning day.  Mr. Nieto's students gave me this wonderful idea of using today's technologies to try to make our learning time fun and interesting.  Since almost the entire world is using Facebook these days, this blog will become our new Academic Mini-Facebook.  I hope you, my dear students, enjoy this blog as much as I think you will.  This will become YOUR blog, where everyone will be welcome to comment and/or ask questions too. Make sure to always read and check what's new here.  Remember that this is a safe and fun space where we, students, parents and I can all participate, practice and review the standards, and at the same time, have fun chatting with each other. 

Our 3 agreements also apply to this blog.  Don't forget to always Be Respectful, Be Safe and Helpful everywhere you go, as well as on this blog. 

In addition to posting comments, you are expected to name, proofread and edit each one of your entries. Anonymous entries will be deleted immediately.  You will also be expected to participate at least once a week.  Make sure to review and comment on different posts, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Simple Sentences with Multiple Predicates

In this part, you just have to make sure your subject (who) is followed by more than one predicate.  As a reminder, a predicate is the what in the sentences.  Here are some examples for you. 

Our classroom is pretty large, can get really hot and has no air conditioning. (3p)

Last night, my brother's dog killed a racoon, destroyed my yard and chased a cat away. (3p)

That wallet is really beautiful, has many pockets and looks really expensive. (3p)

Simple Sentences with Multiple Subjects

Remember that this type of sentences are just simple sentences that include various subjects.  Don't forget to use different subjects such a places, things, people and/or animals and separate them with commas.  Here are a few examples:

Mexico and Peru have a variety of really good food.  (2s.)

                        

The little rabbit and the dangerous fox can not play together. (2s.)

                           

A warm blanket, a cup of hot tea and a good movie can really make us feel better. (3s.)

Simple Sentences

Welcome to Simple Sentences! In this post, you can only write different examples of simple sentences.  Remember that a simple sentence has a subject (who) and a predicate (what), and the subject normally comes before the predicate. You cannot copy other people's work.  Be creative! Use your imagination to make your sentences unique.  Before you start, make sure to review your classmates' responses.  Don't forget to proofread and edit your entries before publishing them. Here are some examples:

Today, my little brother went to the pet store with my youngest aunt.
                                                                                       
Earlier, an innocent cat was hurt by a wild dog. 

Hayward is a beautiful city in sunny California.
